I love how cypherpunk/freedom tech converges. Each of these technologies is very cool on its own, but I always said that the power comes when you connect it together to create sort of network effects or different kind of positive feedback loops.

First "it's just money", "it's just a social network", "it's just a parallel communication network".

Now I do things like new Nostr client that integrates AI through Routstr paid for by Cashu e-cash built on Lightning. Or a navigation app that uses MeshCore and Nostr for road events, distributed through ZapStore (over Nostr) for all the amazing GrapheneOS users out there. Or interacting with self-sovereign Hermes agent through Whitenoise, with my own Third Ear voice transcription app, which is a native Marmot (Whitenoise) client (a group chat over Nostr), which uses Routstr or Venice (paid for by crypto with funny economic model), using uncensored open models, fallback on local inference, with self-sovereign memory, and the agent itself pays through Lightning, if it wants to order something for me. And will probably read this message on Nostr.

We have built a freaking good ecosystem that can do stuff the normie economy can't even imagine.

A friend, who is a bit left-leaning lately asked me how my liberatarian world view is doing. He was expecting me to be in total depression, because the libertarian political parties are not winning. I explained, that if nothing changed, it would be amazing. We have liberty and libertarian / cypherpunk world is as mature as never before.

Cypherpunk future is now.

P.S.: Adding two slop images for completeness :)
